Is the RX 9070 good upgrade from my 3060 ti with an i5-11400f cpu?

[Kikorusan]

My cousin will get my 3060ti so I need a new gpu. With my 11400f is the 9070 a good fit with it or will there be too much bottlenecks? I use two 1440p monitors and play 1440p. I kind of stop checking new gpu's as I was very happy with my 3060 ti and so i'm confused what's the nvidia equivalent of the 9070. I think ill be going for 9070 as my card before my 3060 ti was an rx 580 and had fond memories with it too. If the 9070 is overpowered for my 11400f what 2025 card should I wait it for?

It probably isn't, but it's still an improvement. CPU bottleneck ahoy ~

What's wrong with RX 9070?

 

 

 

• Only bad thing would be price, if it's priced wrong it's not that worth.

If you play AAA/storygames with rich graphics and want to crank as high as possible, GPU upgrade can help with that, CPU is bit weak though but GPU is still "kind of" main driver when it comes to graphics detail.

Nothing, but those generally aren't benchmarked with an old i5.

Would it help if I get a 11700f? There's a clearance sale on it in my brick and mortar shop

I'm not sure I would be worried about a bottleneck. 

The big improvement really is the VRAM more then just the performance. 
though I do always feel a bit sad about not getting even a 2x improvement if im putting down 600 on a computer part.

Doesn't matter.

 

Old i5 nor new i9 doesn't change the fact that XYZ game needs 12GB+ of VRAM at XYZ resolution when you crank settings to Max.

 

And only GPU can help with VRAM overflow, or GPU demanding scenarios.

You could just get RX, and get 11700 later.

Except it is almost 2x improvement, just not with 1:1 because it's not some ~7800x3D CPU.

I'm surprised the difference between the 9070 and 9070XT isn't that great (189% vs 210%).
